Thrsutmaster T500RS FFB Settings?!

[Weeddrunken]

Cheers,
what's your/the best FFB setting for the T500RS?

Dirt Rally 2.0 FFB:
85 Self Aligning Torque
80 Wheel Ffriction
110 Tyre Friction
120 Suspension
100 Tyre Slip (greyed out)
100 Engine (greyed out)
130 Collision
100 Soft Lock
On Steering Centre Force Enabled
100 Steering Centre Force E

T500RS Control Panel (in Win):
540°; 60%; 100%; 100%; 0%; 0%



PS: Besides the fact of the broken ffb implementation of Dirt Rally 2 (v.1.2.1).

why 100% and not 0% on the last 2 lines ? On Thrustmaster Control Panel.

I have played a lot around but this works fine for me now:

T500RS control panel:
900°; 60%; 100%; 100%; 0%; 0%

Config file:
ffb_force="1.7" -> Thats because of 60% overall force in the control panel.
So I took the default ffb_force="1" and devided it by 0.6 (60%) and ended up at ffb_force="1.7".

Ingame:
Calibrated the wheel! and adjust sensitivity (I use 25 with my 900° so that I do not need to take hands off the wheel)

SAT: 100 (would not go lower than 80 because all the feeling comes from here)
Wheel Friction: 0 (do not need damping here)
Tyre Friction: 100 (whatever this does?)
Suspension: 100 (may increase this, however some grounds have strange feeling at higher level)
Collision: 1 (do not wanna hurt my wrists)
Soft Lock: 0 (hammers around when turned on, do not like it)
Steering Centre Force Enabled: Off

I do not remember the in-game settings now, but my T500 control panel settings:
1080°(with soft lock in-game) 95%, 95%, 95%, 95%, 95%

Feels pretty good in-game, and is also pretty easy to remember when I need to change back after played differant games...

you should not go over 60% main force in control panel, because above the wheel tends to clipping.

after tuning around a lot, i ended up to ingame default settings (all set to 100) and changed only wheel friction, colliision and soft lock (see above).
additionally i tweaked the config file because of the 60% main force in control panel.

i believe the game has its default settings for a reason, so mainly default should be the best with little adjustments.

Very disappointed to have absolutely no road sensation !! i tried many of your advices but road stay silent
Mr Codemaster: are you kidding us ??

never buy another of your game brefore 6 months of fixing everything

[oJJoJoe]

yeah they totally forgot the ground ffb, maybe because of their new surface feature?

[Nesseria]

T500 panel : 60,100,100,0,0
Config file, ffb_force "5.0"
In game :
SAT 35
wheel friction 5
Tyre friction 20
Suspension 110
Tyre slip 20
Engine 0
Collision 40
Soft lock 25

With this, cars feeling is really good for me. You really feel weight transfer. Adjust how hard you want with SAT cursor.
But ground feeling isn't the same as DR1 (I heard that it was a totally fake effect added)

Try my settings and give me feedback plz.

Have fun guys

I tried all off this stuff, but for me increasing the ffb_force in config file too much comes with strange ffb feelings at higher level so that I believe you should keep this as low as possible.

so for your SAT with 35 and config "5.0" (=175) you almost end up at the same level as my SAT 100 with "1.7" in config file (=170).
If you have no problem with that high suspension ffb (I had wierd feeling there) you could also go with a "3.7" in config file and adjust suspension to the max of 150. SAT would be 47 then, and so on for the others...

Honestly getting tired of Codemasters being this lazy and they really started getting bad near the end of the first dirt rally.I like the change to the physics system because it works very well for tarmac but gravel and dirt it just needs adjustment on ffb. None of us should have to be editing main game files at all. I wont be paying for DLC until they stop being lazy.
